In Starfield, copper is considered one of the most useful resources. Even though it is a tier 1 basic material, it is actually handy for a bunch of stuff, especially at the beginning of the game. For example, copper is needed in Research Projects to improve outposts and equipment, or to craft weapon mods.

So when it comes to this particular metal, players are eager to learn the best spots to farm copper in Starfield. This guide aims to answer this question. Also, fans will find a list of all the locations where this mineral can be found and from which vendors it can be purchased.

Best Copper Farming Spots

As in other similar games, Copper is a common resource, so it is difficult to name a few specific planets for the best mining. It will be much easier to list star systems that are the best for mining this ore because of their accessibility:

  • Cheyenne System
  • Guniibuu System
  • Lunara System
  • Procyon A System
  • Sol System
  • Tau Ceti System

Among all the planets in the systems listed, the best planet for copper is Procyon III, in the Procyon A System. The reason for this is simple: it has a ton of copper mines all around it. Though copper is common, there is no better place in the galaxy to farm it than here.
